Brooks Life Science Systems, a division of Brooks Automation, Inc., has introduced its next-generation of automated systems for sample and biological storage. The systems include standardized control software that offers user experience. The company also launched its new "Ask Brooks" expert services portal.

Each system has six bays that can be populated with the industry's widest range of modules for picking, imaging, and input/output functions. Additional sample banks can be added to the initial system via an internal bridge for future expansion. The control software offers simplified operation and installation.

This versatility makes the platform easy to configure and operate, plus highly scalable to meet changing customer requirements.
